Investigation Summary
At 10:15 p.m. on December 9, 2015, an employee was operating a Hyster stand-up narrow aisle reach truck and was travelling down an aisle of a warehouse to retrieve a pallet of goods. The employee turned slightly left to avoid a pallet jack on the right side of the aisle and struck a pallet of products on the left side. The employee's torso was pinned between the first shelf of the rack and the PIT as it spun around and collided with the storage rack on the left side. The height of the shelf was 56.5 inches from floor to bottom of crossbeam. The height of the "open" side of the operator compartment was 55.75 inches from floor. The corner of open side (operator's compartment) passed under the shelf. The employee was killed with crushing injuries.
